It is too early to mow where grass land /ground nesting birds might be nesting.
As described in" Hayfield Management and Grassland Bird Conservation"
One must wait till last week of July or into August to mow where birds are nesting on ground.
I tried to attach the pdf of this booklet here, but Lyris said it was too large to send to our Cayuga Bird List.
And I don't know how to make it into a link that could go in a message.

If someone sends me instructions on how to make it a link, I will send that to people via this list.
I don't have time to send it to individuals who ask me for it. Sorry.

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to control wild parsnip on my land. Whatever the method, I want to try to avoid ground nesting season. The redwing blackbirds seemed to have finished.
Am I right about this? Will I be safe to get it mowed now?
Thanks, Deb
